Krytox Application Question
I've heard that Krytox is just about the best lubricant you can use on weatherstripping to keep it supple and soft.
(Hmmm....wonder what other kind of uses it might have?? :eek: :jester )
There weren't any instructions from either Krytox or Ecklers where I got it from, so I'm not sure of exact application directions.
I just got done applying a layer to all my weatherstripping for the winter store, but I noticed that it stays somewhat moist (dang, there I go again...), so I was wondering what I should do now.
Should I leave it overnight and wipe it down in the morning? (Man, am I setting myself up or what? :yesnod: :jester ) Or should I just leave it as is and hope that it doesn't have any residual effect on other body parts (oops :eek: ) during hibernation?
Any answers from those in the know?? :D :cheers:

Re: Krytox Application Question (TOBASCO)
He said moist :lol:
Very gently, I applied a thin coating with a finger. The weatherstripping seemed to take it in effortlessly. As I began to sense satisfaction, the need for additional lubricant diminished.
I would probably leave it alone until you pull out in the spring. :thumbs:

Well, if you don't wipe it down it could get messy... uh, wait a minute you mean weatherstripping :jester
Ya, a thin coat and then wipe lightly and you are set. Good stuff :yesnod:
